When I was a teenager, I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that some miraculous (奇迹的) chance would bring me to the spot I was heading for.
A lot of people do not like to admit that they do not know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their home town very well, will give you a long list of directions which you cannot possibly hope to remember; and you finally find that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I always tell them that I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid causing trouble, but even this can have unpleasant results.
I was once on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would di- rect him to the Sunlight Building. Without hesitation, I gave my usual reply, but I had only walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and search him out of the crowd behind me as I had and appointment to keep at the office with a new client and I did not want to keep him waiting. Imagine my situation when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions to my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked!
According to the passage, the sense of direction is learnt______.
A.through practice
B.by nature
C.in the childhood
D.after visiting a place repeatedly
A.prescribe
B.describe
C.revise
D.devise
I was parking at a hiking road when a man in the car next to mine looked out and started to ask me for help. “No ___41____ .” I told him, as I was willing to help anyone in ___42___ . It turned out that his battery was ___43___ and no one would help jump to start his car!
I ___44___ him if he had cables (缆绳), which he did, and in less than five ___45___ I gave him a jump start and his car ___46___ at the drop of a hat. He thanked me and asked “How much do I ___47___ you” and I looked at him in 48 and said “Not a thing!”
He said “You won’ t believe it ___49___ I’ve been sitting here for so long and I asked at least three people to ___50___ me and no one would do it”. That made me really ___51___ . I was thinking that perhaps because of how he ___52___ , his background, or whatever, ___53___ might think he was going to ask them for ___54___ or something and just automatically said “no” without even ___55___ that they could help him so ___56___ . He also told me that one man ___57___ him “My battery is old so it can’ t help you”.
I was ___58___ that the battery is like the love in our hearts. We get ___59___ more if we give it away to others! And it doesn’t ___60___ our hearts to give. I’m happy that I charged his battery and he charged my “battery” with love. I got much more than he offered to me.

1. Help your child communicate. Naturally outgoing kids have an easier time expressing their interest in other children than shy ones do. But you can help build this skill through practice. Ask your child about his favorite games and toys. Praise him for specifics when he shows interest in other people: "You were so nice to let Roger talk about his little dog. I am proud of you."
2. Keep play short and sweet. Parents should keep early play dates short, so no one gets too fired and everyone has fun. Schedule the next one soon after that, so kids can quickly build on their comfort foundation.
3. Know your child. If your child is bossy, talk with him and agree before hand on which toys will be shared and which ones should be put away because your child just can't seem to share them. If you have a shy child, match him with a younger child so he has a chance to be the leader.
4. Help your child help others. Encourage your child to be a better friend by helping him include others in play. If you see someone being excluded, don't ignore it. This is an opportunity to work on your child's ability to understand others. "Rachel is being left out. That must make her feel very sad. Can you think or a way to include her in the game?"
5. Help your kids help themselves. If your child is the one who's being ignored or treated badly, teach him to speak up.
Which word can best describe a child who is good at connecting?
A.Bossy.
B.Confident.
C.Proud
D.Showy.
It was reported in the newspapers to show that Churchill accepted the gift. He described the painting as "a remarkable example of modern art", which drew loud laughter.
In fact he was unhappy with the painting. Sutherland later reported that he asked whether it was to be painted in with a "happy" or "fierce" attitude. "Fierce," replied Churchill. At the time, Churchill was coming to the end of his political life and was unhappy that people wanted him to end his career.
Some twenty years later it was revealed that Lady Churchill hated the painting so much that she had it destroyed. "It was preying on (折磨) his mind," she was reported as saying.
A leading art critic was asked what he thought about the matter. He said he could understand Lady Churchill and had pity on her. Graham Sutherland is a very honest artist, who could only paint what he saw. At the time it was painted, Churchill was an old man, worried by the thought that he would have to end his political career soon. But Lady Churchill shouldn't have had the painting destroyed. It could have been stored away until after their deaths.
